Hello folks at WindDrivers Computer Tech Support Forums,

I'm new to this forum group and thought that this might be
a place to get help with answers.

I have a DELL PC ( 4 year old ) Pentiume III and
my OS is Windows'98 SE.

I need help on my 2 year old Pioneer DVR-104 DVD-R driver.
I first got the new firmware from Pioneer which
improves DVD playback. However, it seems that
either the firmware or the ASPI isn't allowing the
DVR-104 to TEST or burns all DVD-R blanks media.

For example I was using the Prassi PrimoDVD 2.0,
using Data job to burn a VIDEO_ST onto a blank
media DVD-R. However, it brings up an error saying
"Terminated" not able to burn onto a DVD.

I did try different DVD software, that too shows terminated
errors, also.

I looked up on the internet and read some forum groups, and I
noticed that others shared the same problem.
Others showed their respond and suggested to members is to
try Px engines or Nero ASPI that would help to make Pioneer
DVR-104 or a DVD software to burn DVD format onto a DVD-R
blank media. What's surprising is that it does allows to TEST
or burns CD-R!!!

If you're wondering what type of ASPI driver I have in my PC,
it's a "Adaptic" ASPI, WNASPI.dll made by Adaptic.

Do any of you is fimiular to my problem? I have never had
this problem before, until Pioneer advised to download the
new firmware that would play both DVD movies and your own
home made DVDs. Now this time, it would not allow to burn
all DVD-R media types.

I have e-mailed Pioneer customer tech support everything,
no respond in helping for my 2 year old Pioneer DVR-104 driver.
It seems that Pioneer didn't do much of help. They probrably
know that they created such problemadic with their firmware
drivers?

They gave ne a firmware that limits the DVD media that wouldn't
burn, but it can burn all CD-R media types.

I hope you all understand clearly my problem

I'm asking you all, are you fimiular to this sitation?
If you do know the solution on how to make my Pioneer
DVR-104 to burn DVD-R, it would be great if you could
help me how and maybe what driver file would work?

Pioneer wanted me to send them my DVR-104 for them to
make adjustments or so. I wouldn't.

Hopes you all could help with answers that you might know.

Thank you for taking the time to read my inquiry.
